Coffee Break Training
Fire and building inspectors with busy daily schedules often don't have time to attend valuable skill-enhancing training sessions, so the United States Fire Administration (USFA) is providing Coffee Break Training bulletins for you to read and enjoy during your daily break. These one-page training notices, posted every Tuesday, provide technical training in fire protection systems, building construction, codes and standards, inspection techniques, hazardous materials and administrative tips. Each notice includes a photograph or drawing that illustrates the point of the training lesson.
Self-Evaluations
Once you've had the chance to savor your Coffee Breaks, take a few moments to enjoy what you've learned. These self-evaluations will test your skill at retaining the learning objectives from each of the Coffee Break trainings posted during each quarter of the year. The reference numbers after the questions will help you find the answers if you can't remember them all. Good luck and have fun!
